WORLD FORUM PREPARES AGENDA FOR THE NEW CIVILIZATION?

Fifty years ago, San Francisco was the
birthplace of the UN. Last year an organization emerged from the same
city with an identical agenda. In early October 1996 the second
annual State of the World Forum is set to convene in San Francisco.
Last year's inaugural event drew world leaders, scientists, artists,
business people, politicians and teens from 50 nations. All were
gathered with the stated purpose of smoothing our entry into the next
century.

During five intense days this diverse
group of 500 dignitaries, celebrities and personalities, ranging from
Ted Turner to Queen Noor al-Hussein, wife of Jordan's King Hussein,
will grapple with a wide array of challenges which they perceive the
world to be facing over the coming decades.

The forum is sponsored and organized by
the Gorbachev Foundation USA, and is the creation of former Communist
party leader and president of the USSR, Mikhail Gorbachev. The
driving motivation of the organization is the implementation of
social change in the world. This year's theme is "TOWARD A NEW
CIVILIZATION."

The following list of "CORE INITIATIVES"
will be discussed and a comprehensive strategy for worldwide
implementation will be established.

NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROJECT- Working toward
abolition of nuclear arms.

CODE OF CONDUCT TO GOVERN SALE AND TRANSFER OF
ARMS- Control distribution of arms.

A CHARTER OF HUMAN RESPONSIBILITIES- Would
articulate those positive obligations which each individual should
assume in the service of humanity and creation.

PROMOTING HUMAN DEVELOPMENT POLICIES- Develop
policy to help the world's billion poorest people. The plan,
called "The Burhban Statement", sets a 12-point agenda to build a
new global civil society. This includes compulsory primary
education, basic
health care, family planning, etc.

INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN OF TOXINS AND HEALTH-
Endocrine disrupting chemicals pose a long term threat to survival
of our species. The issue is critical because production is
occurring at a massive level and is pervasive throughout industry,
commerce and building construction.

THE GLOBAL OPINION POLL- The State of the
World Forum is thought to be the best platform to unveil a
multi-year series of global polls on the fundamental values of the
new civilization.

YOUTH PROGRAMS- Youth from diverse
backgrounds would be involved in Youth Summits locally and
regionally, culminating in the Global Youth Summit at the State of
the World Forum. In conjunction with eminent experts, youth would
learn about local and global issues, and design community service
projects to address those issues. Youth would participate in all
facets of the ForumÔs consensus building programs.

Other issues to be considered at round table sessions include:

Regional Response to Globalization- Future of the European
Union, etc.

Rediscovery of Religion- Rise of fundamentalism as a social
force, transformation of Buddhism in the 21st century, evil and
civilization; can we reform human nature?

Toward a new civilization: Non-standard people, creating the
future, long-term visioning, moving new ideas into the mainstream.

The New World Order has a "politically
correct" way of stating its agenda. It is calculated to illicit the
least amount of recognition and resistance from the general
population because it is couched in benevolent terms, which belie its
true intent. This is the tactic which the State of the World Forum
has employed. While the goals of this new organization sound
laudable, it should be remembered that they are in the context of
force which would excel that of the communist system. This new
religion is being fostered at the expense of the
individual
conscience.

The organizations which are working toward
global government have formed networks which operate worldwide at all
levels of society, in government, business, news and entertainment
media, religion and education. World society is permeated with the
influence and control of these forces which are working with skill
and effect to guide, direct and shape individual and collective
thinking, preparing the people of the world for the "new
civilization."

As one observes the accelerated speed of
change taking place around us, we are individually confronted with
destiny. Will we submit our conscience and our will to the power that
is dominating the bodies and minds of the masses? To secure our
standing in society, conscience must be compromised and we must enter
the system of slavery established by the world rulers.

The failure of the New World Order is
assured, even as it is poised to assume full power and control in the
world. "Yet he shall come to his end, and none
shall help him." Those who opt for the secure and peaceable
entrance into the "new civilization" will realize the deception, but
that realization will come too late to benefit them.
